As an international event, Spring School will feature lectures by scholars affiliated to national and international institutions, paper presentation sessions (by PhD students and early career researchers), poster presentation sessions (by MA students) and workshops on translation, including also a cultural programme.

The event will take place at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
